preschool gymnasts on Trampoline
Here’s a great way to have preschoolers on a tramp, safely. Surround them with a foam doughnut.
That’s Gymnastics Adventure, Regina.

Tumbl Trak – Air Trak
The Air Trak is an inflated tumbling strip designed for use in gymnastics, cheerleading and general fitness.
Its advantages include versatility, portability and small storage requirements. Each unit runs from a high output, constant flow blower (included in price) and takes less than 30 seconds to inflate. The Air Trak is available in red and blue (as shown).

inflatable gymnastics equipment
I visited Lieven Vercruyssen, founder and chief evangelist of Eurogym Belgium and EuroTumble.com.
… supplier of inflatable gymnastics equipment in Europe. …
Our equipment is quickly inflated and deflated and because it is also airtight a constant blower is not needed. It is very compact and takes a small space in the storage room. …
I tagged along with Lieven to Gymclub Apollo in Antwerp where he set up an Air Floor for the coaches and gymnasts to test.
Lieven is expert in setting up and deflating as quickly as possible.
The kids got in on the fun.
Apollo is a set-up, take-down gym in a school. With limited storage. An Air Floor is ideal in their situation.

inflatable gymnastics equipment Europe
I strongly recommend Eurotumble.com.
Eurotumble is dedicated to inflatable gymnastics equipment of all kinds. Air is the future, I’m certain, replacing foam which is made of petroleum, a non-renewable resource. Air is free.
Here’s a sample of what different kinds of kids can do on an Air Floor.

Eurotumble is a division of Eurogym Belgium, though they distribute throughout Europe. And the world.
Founder and chief evangelist Lieven Vercruyssen was kind enough to host me recently, show me a number of clubs in Belgium … and even bring me along on a club visit where kids at Apollo in Antwerp got to test an Air Floor for themselves.
Eurotumble.com is a distributor for the American company Tumbltrak.

‘Pac-Man’ backward handspring drills
Some elite coaches don’t like drills like this. Personally I always “introduce” the skill this way. It’s FUN and SAFE.
Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.
Of course there are many other similar equipment set-ups. Best is to have one the kids can use by themselves without needing a coach.
… Wondering what a Pac-Man is?

‘elephant vaulting’ over air mats
via Tumbl Trak:
Parkour is super popular with boys right now. This is a great way to get them ‘vaulting’ (SPRING and LANDINGS) in a fun way.
Air inflated mats are the mats of the future.
